I finally found a set of reading chairs for our office after much searching, but they were so unique I had a hard time deliberating what ottoman to get. That was when I remembered tree stump tables. Of course! Distinctive on their own and very fashionable, the tree stump end table was a perfect solution. All that was required was to select a marbling wood that complemented the frame of the chairs.

Esquire’s most recent Ultimate Bachelor Pad is now unveiled in SoHo and is it ever dressed to impress. In the main area you’ll find the Cuelight Pool Table by Obscura Digital. Special sensors track the movement of the billiard balls below, the sensors then activate the projector above that creates the illusions you see. You can customize the reactions to look like water, streaks of lights, or make movement reveal an image. Obscure digital is known for their inovative creations that help companies advertise in new and different ways, that is how this works so well for Esquire, just pop a picture in of the latest cover. iJustine toured the Esquire SoHo house (check out the amazing black glossy ceiling at 2:56 on her video) and featured this pool table. The Cuelight projector can be installed over an existing pool table, you just need a place above to mount it. You know, I could totally see Google picking up acouple of these for their staff.

This clear contemporary occasional table is composed entirely of clear acrylic! It is meant to look like draped fabric, but sits on its own with each of the four corners lightly touching the floor as the “legs” of the table. The “Ice” model is an opaque white, but I like this clear model best. Wouldn’t it look divine in a room with the Louis Ghost Chair?

With a craze going around for white and black damask- I would like to introduce black on black damask, *swoon*. This elegant damask chest from Horchow is a beauty bombshell, packing style and drama. The two faux crystal knobs finish the chest nicely. The floral damask finish is my favorite part though, giving this furniture piece a surprising flare. Perfect for an entrance or as a buffet in a smaller dining room.
